People from outside the US haven’t been able to order it for a while but I think it’s back. Please let me know what you see if you aren’t in the US

You are in the US aren’t you? It’s outside the US that it hasn’t been available last week.

I'm in Canada now but my phone has a US #. When I used the PC I could not order but when I used the phone I could. Now is working with both.

You are in the US though? It is just outside the US that seems to be affected lately.

what strength do you use ? how many - how many times a day ?

Basic (B) - (1) 1nstructions. B1 in the form of thiamine hcl is required for HDT (high dose thiamine) therapy.

Regarding thiamine hcl, it is not a cure. It is at its best supporting carbidopa levodopa. Solgar tablets are choke hazard. Find capsules as they are easy swallow.

Doctor Costantini directed:

Early or mild symptoms - 2 grams daily.

Moderate symptoms - 4 grams daily.

Severe symptoms - 6 grams daily.

Divide into two equal doses. Take first dose at breakfast. Take second before lunch.

I

Before starting with full dose take a small amount and watch for any allergic reaction.

Will 1/8 of the therapeutic dose be effective?

We started 1 for a few days then 2 then 3 then 4 over a few weeks. Tried to go higher and he got more anxious so eventually settled on 3. 2 at breakfast, 1 at lunch. Not too late in the day or it can affect sleep. He took 3 a day for 18 months or so but cut back to 2 a day when he was anxious again then down to 1. Now on 1 1/2 (actually 1 then 2 next day, then 1.. to make it easy). He just felt “worse” when dose needed adjusting down or up.

Ok - excuse my ignorance - but I'm assuming you mean "1" gram ? ("2,3,4") ? The caps RoyProp is suggesting are 500mg, so I'm trying to figure this. Hoping they are not gigantic as he can have a hard time swallowing. Can I ask - what symptom shifts do you see with it ?

Sorry, I mean 500mg capsules from vitacost. I wasn't clear. They are largish but gel caps this size are not too hard to swallow unlike some hard tablets. So he tried 500mg, 1g up to 2 g. I know Roy was taking 4 g but we never got that high. I think it varies for each individual.
